Obviously, we haven't moved completely past it.Other:
1) I am tired of people not knowing what racism even is; and
2) I am tired of people pretending that our society has moved past it.
Those that would benefit most from a color-blind society are those most likely to make sure society is never color-blind.
It Firstly, there seems to be this push on the right that seems to essentially claim that racism is only coming from the black community nowdays,
I'm very sick of hearing about racism. That makes me all the more convinced that the elimination of its existence is imperative.
I'm not sure why a poll that's obviously intended as sarcasm or a joke isn't in the Basement, the Partisan section, or the conspiracy section.
I don't intend it to be sarcasm or a joke
Clearly you do, given the poll options:
1. I am sick and tired of hearing about racism!
2. I think the race card should be played more often!
3. I am offended that you're offended that someone was offended about racism
4. Moar Racist lulz plz!
This does not belong in this section.
Since mods are participating they obviously don't care.
But I still think it points to the progressive degeneration of our forum. It is no longer the legitimate political debate forum it was years ago.
A slightly younger 1069 once learned a lot here.
I not only do not feel like I learn anything here anymore, but I don't think that this current incarnation of DebatePolitics would've had anything to teach even that younger and more clueless version of me.
I doubt it has anything to teach anyone, not even the high schoolers who now populate it.

I mean it to be serious with a sense of humor to it. It seems to have sparked real discussion as well. And I'm sorry you feel that way about the current state of DP. Frankly I'm tired of seeing all the race threads (hence the creation of this poll).
It's all silly because there is only one race, the human one.
what about formula 1?
Who here is tired of hearing about racism?
This really makes no sense to me. Essentially, you say you're tired of all the race threads, so you make yet another race thread?
Technically this is not a "race" thread....rof
how so?
....
How about about a "I'm tired of hearing racists pretend that having a conversation involving race, is equivalent to being a racist," option.
You can't eliminate its existence.
I think people from all political ideologies can be tired of the race card being played constantly. Who's tired of Democrats calling every Republican policy racist? Who is tired of hearing that all Tea Party protesters are racist bigots? Who is tired of hearing Jesse Jackson spread his filth? Who is tired of the race card being played in the legal system? Who is tired of racism always being placed before us? Who here is just tired of racism in general? Democrat, Republican, Liberal or Conservative, who is tired of racism being so prevalent in politics and criticisms?
It's a poll about hearing about racism, not racism itself.

This post, and the context of this poll is racist.
I wouldn't be surprised if you were an undercover troll from the White Pride gang trying to discredit legitimate criticisms of the racist undertone that exists in some of anti-Obama people.
Not all, but some.
I'm tired of racists and bigots trying to characterize legitimate questions about some the the Tea Party's motives as the "race card".
It's not a card. It's called reading between the lines--listening to and looking the context and tone of anti-Obama statements. There is nothing 'socialist' about Obama or any of his policies, so what do they mean when they say that? "Take back our country". From who? No one has taken your country. There was an election. There will be another one in 2012.
